I like building things.

Experience

Industry, research, and team roles. Currently with Lockheed Martin.

Shop floor tooling, a kaizen that doubled throughput, a live maintenance dashboard, and an onboarding hub.

A putter head designed in CAD and machined from aluminum stock, start to finish.

A 3D-printed arm that mirrors a smaller input arm in real time through potentiometers.

Zero experience to CSWA and CSWP in one summer.

Passive two-phase cooling: ANSYS CFD, SolidWorks, aluminum prototypes, and a co-authored research paper.

Led 60+ members to build a robot that collects, sorts, and disposes of waste in a mock city.

A job application tracker for students, with a Chrome extension that fills in applications for you.

Drivetrain and chassis parts for an off-road race vehicle, held to ±0.005".

Something I’ve gotten into recently. Mostly trips, cities, and things I notice day to day.

Open to internships, co-ops, research, and conversations about engineering.
